This is a feed from pomesonpoets, which is the name of the original blog. I called it "pomes" after the Pomes Penny Each of James Joyce. The aim of the blog is to capture moments with poets real or imaginary. I will continue to post on "pomes" and transfer the content here for those who may have searched for "poems". Thank you for visiting.

Romanian River Candid

Romanian River Candid

Having no more film to fall back onI revelled in the light’s temperature –wasn’t sure if that blue look was cooler orwarmer than the Mediterranean –twiddled for an F-numberto hold the great structureof the water grove; and shutter speedto catch the movement of the water;and as the boat progressed through heatinto the arcs and haloes of the Danube,I clicked away absurdly, sure thateach ingress of light would find,in shape’s curvature and flightof colour through angled lens,a pause inside my Practikato make a bright transfer

like the arched pavilion of the branchesin the wide pools our launch passed through –a vision on the blank voidthat, with no film to fall back on,I would see, if not again,then just this once.
